Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1369

In a battle fought in the open, there was always the possibility of retreat. As long as they retreated to a more advantageous position, the situation could easily be turned around.

So, Thomas needed to find a way to cut off the enemy's escape route and trap them here, until they were either defeated or surrendered.

Inside Valken, Wayne had been captured and was now imprisoned alongside Yuvan and the others. Seeing this, Harvey exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Wayne, how did you get caught? Did Mr. Murphy lose?" Wayne's clothes were torn, his body covered in wounds, and blood was dried on the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly disheveled.

At this point, Yuvan still hadn't realized that he had been betrayed. He had spent the entire night worrying about why no one had come to rescue him. He began to suspect that perhaps they could no longer rely on Clifford's forces. Yet, in his mind, he still hoped that Saul would come, even if Clifford had failed. Seeing Wayne captured, however, crushed any remaining hope. His heart sank.

Yuvan had already considered the possibility of failure. He even prepared for the worst, knowing that his plan to lure the enemy into the city might not work.

But Harvey hadn't. Harvey had always believed that once Clifford and Saul's armies arrived, they would wipe out the Capital Army without leaving a trace.

Now, seeing Wayne's arrival, Harvey's panic took over.
